Hello everyone,
Yesterday went to big bazaar for some weekend shopping along with my hubby n kid. I picked a packet of sweet corn there. I remembered my mom had made this sweet corn masala when she visited us. I like the way side steamed sweet corn. I wanted to try out something different. I ended up making sweet corn masala for tea time.
Ingredients:-
Sweet corn - 1 cup
Bengal gram dal powder(Besan or kadalamavu) - 1/4 cup
Asafoetida powder - 2 tsp
Salt- to taste
Green chillies - 2(slit into round pieces)
Red chilly powder - 1 tsp
Refined oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - 1
Preparation:-
First, boil the sweet corn in a saucepan after adding a cup of water to it. While the corn is getting ready, take a bowl and add the besan, salt, red chilly powder and asafoetida. Give it a good mix and then add water. You can add up to a cup of water. It should be very thin and watery. Since, the besan gets cooked in the water, adding more water will do more good than harm. Check the corn, if it has become soft, then remove it from flame and set it aside. If there is excess water, do not strain it, we can use them.
Add oil to a kadai and when the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, green chillies and curry leaves. When the rawness of these greens are gone, add the sweet corn. Add the watery mixture of besan to this and keep stirring with a ladle to avoid lump formation. Check the salt level. Once the besan is cooked, the mixture will thicken. Transfer it to a serving bowl and have it hot.
P.S:- Once you have transferred this masala to a bowl, you can optionally add few drops of lemon juice to get a tangy flavour. Also, while preparing the watery mixture of besan, you can add 1/2 tsp of garam masala to it.
